  • Sensor Interface Circuit Design towards CMOS Scaling

    Creator:
    Liu, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Sensor system plays an important role in connecting everything including human body to the electrical information systems that we have built and that we are going to build, to make the world more intelligent and efficient. One of the key propulsive forces behind these emerging techniques is CMOS scaling that...

  • Simulator for optimizing performance and power of embedded multicore processors

    Creator:
    Goska, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    This work presents improvements to a multi-core performance/power simulator. The improvements which include updated power models, voltage scaling aware models, and an application specific benchmark, are done to increase the accuracy of power models under voltage and frequency scaling. Improvements to the simulator enable more accurate design space exploration for...

  • Understanding the ultra-wideband channel within a computer chassis

    Creator:
    Redfield, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in computing technology have generated a demand for more streamlined and effective test systems. By replacing traditional in-chassis wired interconnects with a broadcast wireless system, fault detection and error susceptibility will drastically improve, input/output capabilities will expand, and routing complexity will decrease. Ultra-wideband impulse radio's (UWB-IR) characteristic multipath-immunity...

  • Sliding Mode Control of Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converters

    Creator:
    Brown, Danielle R.
    Abstract:
    This thesis concerns the development of a direct torque control strategy using a sliding mode control approach to optimize the power output of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converter (WEC). The OWC WEC is a device that has a submerged vertical tail tube open at both ends, which...

  • Lamb Wave Mode Decomposition and Its Applications in Structural Health Monitoring

    Creator:
    Zoubi, Ahmad Bassil
    Abstract:
    Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems perform automated non-destructive damage detection and characterization for a variety of large structures including civil structures such as bridges and aerospace structures such as aircrafts and space vehicles. The goals of SHM include preventing catastrophic structural failures, increasing reliability, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing the...

  • Modeling, Fabrication, and Characterization of Magnetic Thin Films for Integrated Inductor and MRAM Applications

    Creator:
    Buford, Benjamin
    Abstract:
    Magnetic thin films have potential to improve devices such as on-chip inductors, and enable new technologies such as magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The use of magnetic cores in on-chip inductors is typically limited to applications well under 1 GHz. At higher frequencies, the performance of the magnetic core is...

  • Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

    Creator:
    Duong, Thai
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

  • Adaptive Movement Intent Decoding for Intuitive Control of Neuroprostheses

    Creator:
    George, Damon A.
    Abstract:
    Movement intent decoders, which interpret volitional movement intent from human bioelectric signals, can be incorporated into modern neuroprostheses to offer people living with limb loss or paralysis the potential to regain their lost motor control. Machine learning methods have become the research standard for continuous decoders with high degrees of...

  • Visualization and analysis of sensor data for detecting microclimate cold air pools

    Creator:
    Singh, Satpreet Harcharan
    Abstract:
    Cold air pools are spatiotemporal phenomena that occur when cold air from higher elevations roll down the slope to accumulate in lower elevations. Behaviors like this lead to microclimate anomalies such as the city of Corvallis (Oregon) experiencing persistent cold weather even on a sunny day. We analyze multivariate temperature...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...
